NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 3:06 PM EST, 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 406 PM EDT FRI JUN 27 2008 .SYNOPSIS... A STUBBORN TROUGH WILL SLOWLY MOVE OFFSHORE LATE TONIGHT. THE BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE AND USHER IN HOT AND HUMID WEATHER FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT IS SLATED TO CROSS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING AN END TO THE HEAT WAVE. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVES BY MIDWEEK WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM EXPECTED BY THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE STARTED POPPING IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND EXTREME SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. REPORTS OF NICKEL HAIL CAME OUT OF A NASTY LOOKING CELL IN CAPE MAY COUNTY AND HOPEFULLY THAT IS NOT AN INDICATOR OF WHAT IS TO COME THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BOTH A SEA BREEZE IN NJ AND A BAY BREEZE IN DELAWARE HAVE BECOME WELL DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON AND STORMS ARE LIKELY TO FORM ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS WELL. A BOUNDARY EXISTED JUST SOUTH OF PHILADELPHIA EARLIER TODAY AND IT HAS SLOWLY BEEN SHIFTING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN HIGHER IN PLACES NEAR AND AROUND THIS BOUNDARY AND STABILITY IS HARD TO COME BY AS CAPE VALUES ARE 1500 - 2500 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY IN THE DELMARVA AND SOUTH JERSEY. AS THE SUN BEGINS TO SET WE SHOULD LOSE SOME OF THE INSTABILITY ALTHOUGH THERE MAY STILL BE SOME STORMS AS THIS BOUNDARY FINALLY MOVES OFFSHORE LATE TONIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... THERE SHOULD BE LITTLE IF ANY STORMS STILL AROUND BY SATURDAY MORNING AND WE HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST DRY TO START OFF. AS THE DAY HEATS UP INTO THE 90S IN MOST AREAS AND WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 70 IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE DAY OF THE HEAT WAVE. HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY BE IN THE MID 90S BUT WILL REMAIN JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. STORMS WILL START TO KICK UP AGAIN AS DAYTIME HEATING COMBINED WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY LIES ACROSS THE REGION. STORMS SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS, ALTHOUGH A FEW MAY START EARLIER IN THE DAY, AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO DIMINISH WE LOSE THE SUN FACTOR. SPC HAS INCLUDED THE NORTHEASTERN HALF OF THE CWA IN A SLIGHT RISK AREA FOR SATURDAY. THE MET WAS ON THE LOW SIDE AND THE MAV SEEMED TO BE A BIT ON THE HIGH SIDE SO WE USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET FOR TEMPERATURES IN BOTH THE NEAR AND SHORT TERM PERIODS. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE THE BREAD WINNER WHEN IT COMES TO CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. THE AREA IS ALREADY IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS AND THIS CONTINUES TO LOOK VERY PLAUSIBLE AS THE NEW GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THIS. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING ALONG WITH IT A BUNCH OF INSTABILITY /OUT AHEAD OF IT/ AND CONVECTION /BOTH AHEAD OF IT AND ALONG IT/. AFTER THE FRONT PASSES CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WILL DROP OFF CONSIDERABLY AS A NEW AIRMASS MOVES IN. THIS PARTICULAR AIRMASS WILL KICK OUT THE HOT HUMID TEMPERATURES AND USHER IN SOME MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND PERHAPS EVEN A COUPLE OF DAYS BELOW NORMAL WITHIN THE PERIOD. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN FOR MIDWEEK AT THE END OF THE PERIOD WE FIND OURSELVES AT JULY 4TH. CURRENTLY THE HOLIDAY LOOKS ALRIGHT WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES EXPECTED. HOWEVER, A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO APPROACH THE REGION TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK AND THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CREEP INTO THE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WELL KEEP YOU POSTED AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK AND GET BETTER MODEL GUIDANCE. WE FOLLOWED HPC FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE SO FAR REMAINED TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF OUR EIGHT TAFS SITES. THAT MAY NOT CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE DURING THE BALANCE OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND MAY EVENTUALLY IMPACT KMIV, KACY OR KILG. MEANWHILE, THE ACTIVITY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA COULD VERY WELL AFFECT KRDG BETWEEN 2100Z AND 2300Z AND PERHAPS KABE, KTTN, KPNE AND KPHL EARLY THIS EVENING. WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY INVOLVED, WE CONTINUE TO SIMPLY INDICATE CUMULONIMBUS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING PERIODS IN ALL OF OUR TAFS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS FOR KRDG, WHERE THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION SEEM A LITTLE GREATER AT THIS POINT AND WE HAVE INCLUDED SHRA FROM 2100Z TO 2300Z. SHORTLY AFTER THE SUN SETS AND A WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE PASSES TO OUR EAST, WE SHOULD NO LONGER HAVE ANY PRECIP IN OUR REGION. FOR LATE TONIGHT, WE HAVE AGAIN MENTIONED MAINLY MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTION AS THE WARM HUMID AIR REMAINS IN PLACE. OUTLOOK... WE CONTINUE TO EXPECT MAINLY SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY, WITH A GREATER CHANCE EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY BEFORE SOME DRIER AIR BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS WILL AGAIN BE A GOOD POSSIBILITY FOR SUNDAY MORNING AND MONDAY MORNING. && .MARINE... LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES AND INTO QUEBEC, AND HIGH PRESSURE OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC, WILL LIKELY KEEP A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW MAY CAUSE WAVES ON OUR OCEAN WATERS TO BUILD UP TO AROUND 5 FEET FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY. THERE MAY ALSO BE OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS AT TIMES FROM LATE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. WHILE IT SHOULD GET CLOSE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA, WE WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY AT THIS POINT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION OVERNIGHT AND ON SATURDAY. && .CLIMATE... WITH THE CURRENT HEAT WAVE AMONG US, WE LOOKED TO SEE WHAT THE RECORD TEMPERATURES ARE FOR JUNE 28TH AT OUR 8 CLIMATE SITES. ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT FORECAST TO BREAK ANY RECORDS A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS MAY GET WITHIN A FEW DEGREES ON SATURDAY.
